I don’t know that I win your honor, either. I have no idea whether **Dex** has actually met anyone face-to-face and I’m rather sure that his photo on the old Teeming Millions page was not actually taken of _him_. There could be a couple of others out here, as well.

TnD,

I’d like to nominate Sue Duhnym for the most clever pseudonym. Even if it did take me a few weeks to “get” it.

I nominate **iampunah** for the **Poster Most Surprised To Find Out That He Agrees With A Food Snob** award.

Frickin’ fried liver, more like _Fried Mud_!

I’ll cheerfully agree to include **Chef\_Troy** in my nomination for best IRL Host(ess). His recipes rock!

It’s ok **jb**. I didn’t get it until I was at **Sue** ’s birthday party and it was pointed out to me by **Jack Batty**.

Needless to say I immediately bribed everyone at the table to never mention it again.

I nominate Zenster as Poster Most Likely to Nominate Someone For a Completely Pointless Award.

I’m touched… and honored, and yet again, somewhat depressed. I would have thought my offer of sexual favors at low low discount prices would have done something to knock that level-headed reputation on it’s ass.

90 days, same as cash. Generous financing availible.

well, it was worth a shot.

I nominate **Crash** and myself for strangest subjects of a Pit thread ever. And strangest premise.

Level-headed people sell things at a low, low discount price, with generous financing. Wild and crazy people sell things by saying, “If you have to ask the price, you can’t afford it”, and then they go back to their phone conversations.

Thanks, y’all, for the mentions of the Telemarketer rant. I only hope one day to aspire to the heights of greatness regularly achieved by **Lexicon** and the “where is she now?” genius **neuro-trash grrrl.**

Some nominations of my own:

**This Thread,** for fastest to four pages. Zzzzoom!

**katrina,** for SDMB poster I’m most likely to remain married to for the rest of my life. \<smooch\>

**Myself,** for Most Dominant Movie Geek Prior To Finding SDMB And Who Now Tries To Hide Jealousy Over All The Other Incredibly Well Informed Movie Geeks He Didn’t Expect To Find Here. Also, I’m the Movie Geek Who Goddamn Better Update His Movie Review Website Pronto.

**DRY,** for the Good Soul Award.

**manhattan,** for Moderator With Funniest “I’m Bumping This Thread To Another Forum” Messages.

**Wildest Bill,** for Most Compulsive Thread Starter. Also, for Person Whose Threads Most Wildly Vary In Quality For No Apparent Reason.

Oooo, there’s so many… That’s enough for now.

I would like to nominate myself as the poster who is least likely to be mentioned in a popularity thread (Minimum 1200 posts and one year on the board).  
I would like to nominate Fierra for the stay up late in chat award (International division)

Homer for the person whose board persona does not match his picture award.

Una for the patience of a saint award, for all the stuff she has to put up with.

I would also like to second the nomination of Silo as the most improved poster.

You’re obviously not the only one.

Thank you so much for the nomination, but it looks as if it should be ammended to **Most Clever Pseudonym No One Gets**

Am I the only one who “got” **Sue** ’s user name from the get-go?

On the other hand, it was only a couple days ago that I suddenly realized that **Simetra** is “Artemis” spelled backwards.
